Mr. H. B. Viedt,
United States Radium Corporation,
422 Alden Street, Orange, N.J.
My dear Mr. Viedt:
Thank you for the enclosure of the case.
I believe that it
is an instance of which I, myself, have already gained track.
Of course phosphorous poisoning is not what we are dealing with
in your plant but it may be that the lesions are the same.
I am
going to make a trip to Philadelphia on May 3 in order to see a
girl who is at the Homeopathic Hospital there and who, so far as
I know, worked for the Essex Specialty Company.
She may well be
this case.
I have communicated with her physicians and trust
they will have X-rays to show me. That is, of course, what
I
want.
I have been finding some extremely interesting and important
material in the literature and look forward to seeing you again.
Will you arrange, if you can, for me to see the New York case,
Mrs. Kuser, sometime on Wednesday, May 7?
I should like to see
her and also her doctor, who is Theodore Bloom and can be readily
Blum?
located in New York.
You will be glad to know that Dr. Barry has cooperated very
readily and has sent me all his X-rays.
Very sincerely yours,
Cecil K. Drinker
Cecil K. Drinker, M.D.
